TV Shows: What are you watching?

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Hate reality shows with a passion. Where do they find all all these brain dead people anyway? :evil:

Will watch another episode of True Blood tonight.

Oh Soo-kie!

Yah it was a shitty start for the guys, but when you miss a lease payment you aren't guaranteed anything.

They actually pulled up 8 oz in an hour after the cleanout. Then they were told to piss off. LOL.

Well.... not entirely true. I think the first reality show (that I know of at least) was Real World MTV, which I suppose was American. The Swedes were first to bring it to prime time with Robinson (the American version is called Survivor), but the concept was bought from an Irish/British production company owned by Bob Geldof and Charlie Parsons. So I guess there are lot of people that could be blamed... :roll:

Btw, I'm going to qualify my earlier post; The Amazing Race is actually rather entertaining.
Not my favourite show, but much better than the other reality show crap, and thus I do not hate The Amazing Race.

Yeah, I was thinking of Robinson/Survivor which is what started the whole disgusting trend.

All Reality shows, including Amazing are shyte. Fake Drama bitches :evil:


They are quick fast and sleazy, that's why they make them, it's like taking a quick fix pill to treat a symptom, which is to distract the masses from any real problems they are avoiding).

Give me PBS/TVO or a good Doc (not the fundamentalist kind 8-) ) anytime over primetime anything (except Breaking Bad, Sapranos...).

Well, there was that Playboy channel reality show 7 Lives Xposed.... :drink:

Sapranos...? Is that a series about overly emotional mobsters in NJ? :wink:

For any Gold Rush fans, from now on try reading Topper posts in this guy's voice. It gives a whole new perspective.

For anyone interested...

HBO Canada is re-airing The Wire. Season one premier is Dec 15th!

If you haven't seen it..... It’s the best drama ever made! Better than the Soprano's by a bunch.
BTW, NOT A FLAME ... JUST AN OBSERVATION ... :P

Agreed 100%. I've downloaded all 5 seasons and have watched them all twice.
2011..... the one that got away.

Loved the wire, but I think I enjoyed Breaking Bad even more.

BTW Walking dead finally got good.

Breaking Bad is the best series I've seen since the Sopranos. I'm looking for a new show, so I'll try the Wire.

I hope they live up to that mid-season cliffhanger in Feb.

When I joined the Corner Brian gave me the look! He remembered me... I have a reputation of some sort. I told him I was a changed man. You want proof... I'm going down to my home theater to watch Handy Manny with my kid!

Peace!

Oh wow that is torturous to make me wait that long! What a great show! Just when it seemed it was coming to a crawl .... BAM! They rocked me again!

I hate cliffhangers! :evil:
